What Is TheGamer Staff Playing This Weekend?

<br>Genshin Impact has been out for quite some time now, and has become a solid example of how to make a good live service game. Numerous updates have added in a lot of new story content, a new playable characters, and tons of bug fixes for issues people were constantly complaining about. That said, for those who have been deep into Genshin from the beginning, the list of things to do daily has dwind<br><br>I’ve had a sleepy and slow week in the run-up to a rare bank holiday day off, and the games I’ve played have matched that - Cities: Skylines and APICO. Skylines is a go-to game for quiet days when I just want to place down roads. I’m not very good at it. My city is covered in traffic and no one can get to the hospital. Oh well. APICO is a bee-keeping simulator that I played for this week’s indie spotlight, another slow game about collecting, breeding, and eventually manipulating magical bees into producing materials that you then sell to the neighboring villagers for extortionate prices. Brilliant.<br><br> <br>Thoma is a real, true housekeeper of the Kamisato Clan and an extraordinarily capable member of the Yashiro Commission. Now hanging out with him might not be full of wildly humorous antics or harrowing adventure, as he's a pretty chill fellow, but we are graced with the gloriousness of his cooking and mentoring skills, his love for animals, and his level-headed problem-solv<br><br> <br>Updated on May 30, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah : Claymore users in Genshin Impact continue to grow in Natlan, but that sadly doesn't mean Itto gets new toys to play with. The most recent release of the Claymore unit, as of version 5.6, is Mavuika, who debuted in Genshin Impact 5.3. Although Mavuika's weapon is powerful , it's niche for Natlan characters who greatly scale with ATK. Meanwhile, Itto and his needs for DEF stats mean he's still stuck with weapons available pre-Nat<br><br> <br>One of her endings is tricky to get, but just like Bennett's , the rest of her branches tend to follow a linear route with little deviation and next-to-no errors you could make that'd have you starting over.

There’s a new expedition, Leviathan, and that’s an apt word for the challenge of trying to remember what to do and figure out what on earth is going on. Permadeath doesn’t help things, but then I’ve noticed a quirk of being able to claim the Twitch rewards given away a while back, every single time I respawn. That means five ships to scrap, and millions of credits, which should make things more palatable. I’m also planning to do a lot of grinding in Dislyte — I’ve hit a wall in terms of progression, so it’s time to focus on making my Espers stronger.<br><br>The only game on my mind right now is Baldur’s Gate 2. So many other games have been abandoned in favour of this BioWare classic, so much so that I’ll probably be writing about it next week as well. I don’t know what my playtime is, but I’m easily over the 40-hour mark and only on chapter four. And honestly, that’s because when I say I’m "playing Baldur’s Gate 2", that usually means I’m writing character journals or making a new character portrait. Do not start playing this game if you’re a writer. I’ve accidentally kept playing until 4 am twice this week. The end is nowhere near in sight.<br> <br>Important Places and Locations >How to Unlock the Tree of Dreams and Use Dendro Sigils >How to Unlock Sumeru Daily Commissions and Sumeru Reputation >Sumeru Shrines of Depths - All Locations >Every Merchant in Sumeru, Where to Find Them, and What They <br><br> <br>As mentioned above, Riftborn Regalia is a boss material that drops from the Golden Wolflord boss .

After using her Elemental Burst, Yelan will enter the Mastermind state, causing her next five Normal Attack arrows to act as enhanced Breakthrough Barbs, dealing a staggering amount of damage.
